New Delhi, Jan 4 (IBNS) As the audacious Pathankot terror attack rattles the country, the Indian government is likely to raise the issue with the Pakistani government on Monday.

Media reports said  India is seeking action against Jaish-e-Mohammad, the terror group which is expected to have carried out the attack on Indian Air Force base in Pathankot, where operation against terrorists is going on for the third day on Monday.

 
 India is likely to tell Pakistan in clear terms to raid these groups and wants the military court to act against them. The investigating officials have recovered a note that nails Jaish-e-Mohammad hand in the attack.

Reports said the  future of the Foreign Secretary level talks will depend  on the action taken by Pakistan against Jaish. India is likely to inform Pakistan that terror and talks can't go further without action on these groups.

Meanwhile, joint combing operation by the armed forces, police and security personnel is underway at the Pathankot airbase. So far, five terrorists have been killed and search is still on for at least one. Altogether seven security men, including a Lt. Col of the National Security Guard have been martyred.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi  chaired a high-level meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Jai Shankar and other top officials on Sunday night to take stock of the Pathankot attack.
